Profile Armed with that voice and her “no fear” approach to performing, Jessie ravaged the stages of Buffalo like one of the storms that frequent the city. With her first band “Actor”, Jessie quickly became the number one female singer in the region. “Checkin’ Out”, her first recording with “Actor”, was released only a few months after Jessie came on the scene and is still played on Buffalo’s 97 Rock radio. The band’s mini album came out in 1983 from Vidiot Records and produced from the band and Select. Pure early 80s hard rock and with a better production it would be a raw gem.

They were together in rehearsals for just two months. Within that short period of time, before they even had gigs booked, they acquired a manager, songwriters, recorded songs and got radio airplay on the top radio station in Buffalo, 97 Rock. All this activity was based from what people heard at their rehearsals. So, their very first gig was an event and wall-to-wall people! Actor’s success climbed very fast and they didn’t realize what was happening! From that night forward they were booked seven nights a week touring Eastern US and Canada!
